Dear all,
Is it an option to stick to 7 as long as there are no major changes? And for clear communication, stop using the 5.1 etc. and replace is with 23 (for the year) and .1 (for the release in the year). Starting with no additional number.
So 7.23 and then if there is a second release in 2023 7.23.1 and so on.
Development can then stick to proper version control. And for the user, it is easier where he/she is. (in sync or not).
Met vriendelijke groet,
With kind regards,
Boudi van Vlijmen.

Because email is an old and insecure first generation internet protocol we will, in time, stop to use email. If you want to contact us and are not known with us, you can use the web contact form. If you are known with us you can use our signal account or RCS to chat, or we share an cloud environment.

Omdat e-mail een oud en onveilig internetprotocol van de eerste generatie is, zullen we op termijn stoppen met het gebruik van e-mail. Als u contact met ons wilt opnemen en niet bij ons bekend bent, kunt u het contactformulier gebruiken. Als u bij ons bekend bent, kunt u ons signal-account of RCS gebruiken om te chatten, of we delen een uitwisseling omgeving.

Moving to LibreOffice 8 (instead of 7.6) makes sense for marketing
purposes, as media is looking at LibreOffice as the real innovator in
the open source office suite market, and the feeling of journalists is
that we are forever stuck at 7.x.
We all know that the next version will not include any significant
innovation which can justify the change of version, apart from the new
build system for Windows and the availability of LibreOffice for Arm
processors on Windows (which has not been announced).
Playing with the number 8, which can be rotated 90° to become the
"infinite" symbol, we can frame the next version as LibreOffice for an
infinite number of users, as we cover all hardware platforms and all
operating systems for personal productivity.
This is my opinion. If the community wants to stick with 7.6, I won't
insist. I have received enough insults both public and private for the
marketing plan, and I am still receiving them from a few people, that I
am not willing to enter into that process again (even if the decision on
the "community" tag has not been mine, but it looks like people have a
very short memory).
Looking forward to your thoughts.
